Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

Momo Outrun M3 205-40-17-W Volkswagen Polo 1.9 PD100 100 miles November 2, 2016
Just tried these tires due the low cost and Momo´s good reputation. They are made in China, but couldn´t be that bad. These tires are very grippy on wet and dry, slightly better on dry. The progressiviness is unreal, the car changes direction very easily and becomes more "tight", makes it very firmly. Just by changing the tires my shocks seem now have more responsiviness. Despiste the good confort, the feedback from the road is also very good.
The strong point for me is the very, very low rolling noise, it´s by far the most silent I ever tried. Since these tires are very soft, the acelleration and breaking distance are much better now.
However, the fuel usage is now much higher. I can´t talk about the wear, since I have only 150 km with the tires, but I am not expecting an outstandig result due the softness of the compound.
But since this tire has superb attributes for a low cost (paid 240~250 euros for the set) I will probally buy it again.

Maxtrek INGENS A1 225-45-17- Volkswagen Polo 1.9 PD100 5,000 miles December 17, 2014
Guys, I fully concur with what everyone else has said in terms of wet grip being atrocious.. I have a polo tdi which is a fwd car, and the back has slid out on numerous occasions now. This is downright dangerous and could cost you big time if you lose traction around a bend or whatnot in the wet. I did not have this with my Dunlop SP Sport Fast Response(which were great tires on the polo by the way) which goes back to the old adage of, you get what you pay for.. I won't be cheaping out on tires ever again. There's a reason there's a premium on branded tires - they're worth it.

Toyo Proxes 4 185-55-15-V Volkswagen Polo 1.9 PD100 1,000 miles May 23, 2013
Amazing tires, they stick like glue in the dry, excellent in the wet, maybe just a little more prone to aquaplaning... buy again is a must!

OEM fit to VW Polo 9N3 1.09 TDI PD100. Very ordinary tire. Not great at anything. Can't wait to get rid of them!
